Afraid of the Mess.... Help!
pooks | Jan 26 2006
So today is the day I decided to start on my office. I have a large inbox that is now filled with stuff off the top of my desk. I haven't touched what's on the other surfaces, in the drawers, etc. I'm afraid of the mess I'm going to make! I'm SO tempted to just take care of the desk first, and then move forward, instead of doing it all at once. Somebody who had a big job of this, quick -- tell me it works so that I can keep going! (The irony is, the office is a mess to begin with, thus the big piles that are going to start growing. The problem is I'm going to have to stack the stuff in the hall or living room, and am afraid of the mess taking over the rest of the house. Yikes!) 14 Comments

I have a closet that runs the width of my office. It's not too deep, but it's enough to have boxes and boxes in it. The last three places I've Alas, I too have boxes of old folders that move around with me and to which I never refer. I know they contain old tax returns, or I'd chuck them unopened. After all, if you haven't needed it in four years, you're not too likely to need it now. I had a friend whose father was in the army so they moved every couple of years. After a few years they realized they had several boxes that were always moved (at taxpayer expense!), but unopened each time so they just decided to throw them away unopened rather than expend the psychic energy to sort through them and determine the value of what was inside.
